A private transfer from Souda Port to Adelianos Kampos covers 78.0 km (48.5 mi) in about 1 hr 30 min and costs a fixed fare from €87 per vehicle, not per person.
One booking covers the journey in either direction: arrival from Souda Port, or the departure run back from Adelianos Kampos - Adele at the same fixed fare.
Fares are per vehicle, not per person, and cover the whole car, so a family of four pays once. The price you see is the price confirmed on your voucher; it does not change with traffic, time of day, or a delayed flight.

The same fare applies in both directions: Adelianos Kampos - Adele back to Souda Port costs the same as the arrival leg. Child and booster seats are added at booking, at no extra charge.
The line is the road a driver actually takes from Souda Port to Adelianos Kampos - Adele: 78.0 km (48.5 mi), about 1 hr 30 min door to door. Pickup and drop-off are marked at the coordinates the booking engine quotes against, not at the centre of the nearest town.
Your driver meets you in front of the passenger terminal at Souda Port, holding a banner with your name and the company name on it. Ferry passengers all disembark at once, so the banner is what makes your car findable in the crowd leaving the ramp.
Souda Port sits in Souda Bay, a deep natural harbour east of Chania, and is the ferry gateway for the whole of western Crete. Souda Port takes the overnight sailing from Piraeus, which docks early in the morning and empties several hundred foot passengers onto the quay at once.
That early docking is the reason pre-booking matters here more than at an airport. Taxi supply at Souda is thin at 06:00, and the queue forms before the ramp is down.
The port road joins the national road within a few minutes, so eastbound journeys to Georgioupolis, Rethymno and beyond leave directly without crossing Chania.
In front of the passenger terminal, where your driver waits with a banner showing your name and ours.
Wait at the terminal rather than walking towards the port gate. The quay is a working port with restricted vehicle access, and the car cannot meet you on it.
Give us your ferry operator and arrival time at booking. We track sailing arrivals, so a late docking moves the pickup rather than costing you the transfer.
Tell us as early as you can if your sailing is cancelled or diverted, so the driver can be reassigned.
Adelianos Kampos is the beach strip immediately east of Rethymno, and Adele is the older village on the slope above it. Adelianos Kampos is where most of Rethymno's larger beach hotels stand, set along the sand between the city and Platanias with the national road behind them.
The beach here is a continuation of Rethymno's own, wide and sandy, and it runs east without interruption for several kilometres.
Adele, uphill and inland, is a separate place: a village with a square and tavernas, older than the resort and quieter than it.
We drop you at the door of your hotel, apartment or villa, on the beach strip or up in Adele.
The strip is several kilometres long and its hotels sit on service roads off the main one. Give the hotel name at booking rather than only the area, so the driver takes the right turning.
The drive runs east along the north coast for 78.0 kilometres and takes about 1 hr 30 min, ending on the beach strip immediately past Rethymno.
Your driver meets you in front of the Souda passenger terminal with a banner, and the port road joins the national road within a few minutes, so Chania is never entered.
Aptera comes first with the bay below, then Kalyves, Vamos and Gavalochori on the Apokoronas slope. Georgioupolis arrives at 32.9 kilometres from the quay, at the mouth of the Almyros.
Rethymno passes at 53.0 kilometres, and Adelianos Kampos begins 25 kilometres beyond it, where the city's own sand continues east without a break.
This is the shortest of the eastbound resort transfers Souda sells, and it suits the morning boat particularly well. The Piraeus overnight docks early, an hour and a half of road puts you on the strip well before most check-in desks open, and Rethymno old town is close enough behind you to fill the wait.
The strip runs several kilometres and its hotels sit on service roads off the main one, which is the practical reason the hotel name matters more than the area here. Amira Beach Luxury Resort and Spa, Maravel and Helidonia Villas are among the properties along it.
Adele is the other half of the name and a different place: the older village on the slope above, with a square and tavernas, quieter than the shore and reached by its own road. Say which of the two you need at booking.
The KTEL intercity coach between Chania and Rethymno runs along the national road above the strip.
Reaching it from the quay means a bus or taxi into Chania first, then the coach, then a walk down from the main road with luggage. After a night at sea that is three vehicles against one, for a journey the car does in an hour and a half.
Your driver takes you to the door of your accommodation in Adelianos Kampos - Adele. There is no central drop-off point and no walk with your luggage at the end. These are properties in the resort we transfer guests to regularly; if yours is not listed, it is still covered, so enter the name when you book.
Villas, apartments and private addresses in Adelianos Kampos - Adele are served the same way. Add the address at booking and the fare stays as quoted.
The return leg is the same journey in reverse: 78.0 km (48.5 mi), about 1 hr 30 min, and the same fixed fare from €87 per vehicle. Your driver collects you from your accommodation in Adelianos Kampos - Adele at the agreed time and takes you straight to Souda Port.
Adelianos Kampos back to Souda Port covers the same 78.0 kilometres at the same fixed price.
The service road out to the national road takes the first few minutes, then Rethymno and the run west through Apokoronas. Souda sailings to Piraeus leave in the evening, so departures here are usually afternoon pickups.
Book both directions together and the return is held at the same fare. Switch the form at the top of this page to Departure, or select a return when you book.
Allow about 1 hr 30 min of driving, the boarding time your ferry line requires at Souda, and a margin for the strip and the Rethymno bypass.
Give us the operator and sailing at booking. Your pickup is set against boarding rather than the printed departure, and the time goes on the voucher.
The fare covers the whole vehicle rather than each seat, so 4 people pay the same as 1. The price on your voucher is the price you pay, with no booking fee and no card surcharge.
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name on it. You walk out of baggage reclaim straight to the car, without joining a taxi rank or agreeing a fare on the spot.
Child seats cost nothing extra. Reserve the seat in the booking form and state the child's age, so the correct seat is fitted before the driver sets off.
Cancel at least 24 hours before your pickup time and you pay nothing. Plans change; the booking does not lock you in.
The vehicle carries your party and nobody else. It runs from the pickup point to your exact address, with no intermediate stops and no waiting for other passengers.
Your pickup is set against your flight number, not a clock time. Transfers run at any hour, which covers night landings and pre-dawn departures.
Every booking is confirmed by a person and carries a voucher showing your route, vehicle, pickup time and fare.

The beach properties along the strip, among them Amira Beach Luxury Resort and Spa, Maravel and Helidonia Villas, and the villas up in Adele.
Off the morning boat, usually. Rethymno old town is a few minutes back down the road and is the obvious place to spend the gap.
